Fabrizio Piccareta (born 15 November 1965) is an Italian UEFA Pro Licence licensed coach. Under the tenure of Paolo Di Canio, he served as both Assistant Manager, and later Caretaker Manager following Di Canio's resignation at Swindon Town. Following the announcement of Di Canio as Head Coach at Sunderland on 31 March 2013, it was confirmed Piccareta would reprise his role as Assistant Manager at the club.
In 2001, Piccareta obtained his UEFA B licence and went on to coach with Italian lower league outfit Sanremese.
Piccareta left Biancoazzurri in 2005 to take up a position with Serie A giants Internazionale. His role at Inter involved working within the Inter Campus Abroad project. It was a job that took him all over the world coaching in China, Cambodia, Iran, Colombia, Cuba and Slovakia among others. Between 2008 and 2011 Piccareta focused his time coaching fellow coaches and acting as a first team coach at Italian lower league clubs.
In May 2011, Piccareta was named assistant manager to Paolo Di Canio at English lower league club, Swindon Town. Piccareta spoke of sharing footballing philosophies with Di Canio setting out a plan to bring a "strong identity" to Swindon along with an "Italian methodology in training" and that their "kind of football won't be boring for the fans". During their first season in charge of Swindon, Di Canio and Piccareta managed to win the League Two championship and finish runners-up in the 2012 Football League Trophy played at Wembley Stadium.
On 18 February 2013, Paolo Di Canio announced his resignation from Swindon Town, leaving Piccareta in caretaker charge. He oversaw the club's 3–1 win away at promotion rivals Tranmere Rovers but after the game announced himself and the rest of the coaching staff would be leaving the club the following morning.
